Ritalin is metabolized in the body by CYP2D6, a member of the Cytochrome P450 Enzyme System.
Omeprazole is a member of the PPI family of drugs (Proton Pump Inhibitors).
PPI's are known to inhibit CYP2C19 = this inhibition would allow drugs metabolized by this enzyme to linger in the body = exerting their effect for a longer period of time.
Having said that, metabolic pathways in the body are by no means black & white...it could very well be the case that certain drugs (ie. Ritalin) are metabolized by a combination of these P450 enzymes.
